Commonly Asked Questions
Have a question about blemish removal? Here are answers to some of the most common questions I get asked about Advanced Elecrolysis treatments, healing, consultations and aftercare. If you’re unsure about anything, feel free to get in touch
-
Not always. Many clients can book treatment directly for common concerns such as skin tags, milia or blood spots. If you’re unsure what you’re dealing with, you’re welcome to send a clear photograph and we’ll advise whether treatment is likely to be suitable.
-
The easiest way is to send a photograph before booking. In many cases, a preliminary assessment can be made from an image, helping determine whether the blemish is suitable for treatment or whether an in-person consultation would be beneficial.
-
Most clients find treatment very manageable. Sensation varies depending on the area being treated and the type of blemish, but it is commonly described as a brief feeling of heat or a small pinprick. Treatment is precise and usually very quick.
-
Arrive with clean skin and avoid applying makeup, heavy moisturisers or SPF directly to the area where possible. Specific preparation advice will be provided if required for your treatment.
-
Treatment times vary depending on the size, type and number of blemishes being treated. Some individual blemishes can be treated within minutes, while larger treatment areas may require a longer appointment.
-
Many skin tags, milia and blood spots can often be treated in a single session. Larger or more complex blemishes may benefit from additional treatment to achieve the best possible outcome.
-
Yes. Multiple blemishes can often be treated during the same visit. If you have several different blemishes thats ok, just book any blemish removal treatment ( like skin tag removal ) and add a note to your booking, outlining what the different blemishes are.
-
Yes. Blemishes such as milia and xanthelasma commonly occur around the eye area and can often be treated safely using precise advanced electrolysis techniques.
-
Temporary redness and mild swelling are common immediately after treatment. Small crusts may form as part of the natural healing process and should be left undisturbed while the skin recovers.
-
Most areas heal within one to two weeks. Depending on the type of blemish treated, the skin may appear slightly darker or more noticeable before gradually settling and revealing the final result.
-
It is generally best to avoid applying makeup directly over the treated area until healing is well underway. Aftercare guidance will be provided based on your individual treatment.
-
Freshly treated skin should be protected from direct sun exposure while healing. Daily SPF is recommended to support recovery and help minimise unwanted pigmentation changes.
-
In many cases, once a blemish has been successfully treated it will not return in the same location. However, some people are naturally prone to developing new blemishes elsewhere over time.
-
Treated skin tags do not usually return in the same location. New skin tags may develop elsewhere in the future if you are predisposed to them.
-
Successfully treated milia generally do not return in the same spot, although new milia can develop over time.
-
Many small facial thread veins can be treated effectively using advanced electrolysis techniques designed to target visible superficial vessels.
-
If you have several different blemishes - a mix of skin tags, milia, blood spots or similar - there is no need to book each one as a separate appointment.
Simply book a single treatment, mention what you have in the notes, and I will work through everything in one session. In most cases, a small mix like this is done in a single 15 minute session.
